Tax increase high incomes

The Spanish government recently published the Government's proposal for 2011, including the following measures:

> The top rate income tax (currently 43%) will be increased to 44% for incomes from 120,000 euros and to 45% for incomes from 175,000 euros.  Because of the fact that a portion of this tax rate is determined by the regional states, in practice the ultimate top rates could  result in 46 or even 49%.

> The mortgage deduction will expire from 2011 to individuals with an income higher than 24,170.20 euros.

> During the years 2011 and 2012, capital increases of companies will be exempt from capital tax (currently 1%).

Spanish´Congress should approve these measures in the coming months.
